WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US

FREDRIK HEINIG

MICHAEL ROBINS

Producer: ‘Gentlemen and Gangsters’

Producer: ‘9/11 – The Twin Towers’, ‘Moonshot’, ‘Surviving D-Day’

‘Our project is set in Sweden in the 1970s, and after looking at territories such as Hungary and the Czech Republic, we opted for Lithuania because we felt both the costs and the passion for the project were extremely good. We shot for 43 days and used an old Soviet sports arena to build sets, as well as shooting on location for a week. The film takes place in one of the main streets in Sweden and we actually built one-and-a-half blocks of that outside, as it looked in the 1970s. We built a massive apartment as well. If you’re going to do heavy set construction as we did, it is about 40% cheaper to build it in Lithuania than Sweden’.

PIETER JAN BRUGGE Producer: ‘Defiance’ ‘Being in Lithuania has restored my faith in filmmaking. In Hollywood everything is more about the logistics – how to get the coolest plane or the coolest car for a film, whereas here often you have to make things and the physical skills of people are extraordinary in some cases.’

JEAN-FRANCOIS DELASSUS

‘Dangerous Films have shot almost 8 hours of television in Lithuania. The projects have been both scripted drama as well as dramatic reconstructions for drama documentaries. Our commissioning broadcasters have included BBC 1, Discovery Channel US, ITV, Prosieben, Discovery Europe, France 2 and BBC Worldwide. 2 of our shows have had Primetime Emmy nominations plus BAFTA and Royal Television Society Craft nominations and awards.’ ‘We have always found the Lithuanian crews enthusiastic and professional. The wide range of skills available has meant that our productions have always been confident of delivering the quality demanded by our international coproducing partners. Our productions have always met their tight schedules on time and on budget. We have found shooting in Lithuania extremely good value for money, without compromising the artistic integrity of the projects. Besides the artistic, technical, and financial stability that filming in Lithuania has brought to our shows, our cast and crews have always found Lithuania a pleasant and enjoyable place to work.’

Director: ‘Les dernieres heures du mur’, ‘L’Affaire Farewell’ ‘I have shot films in Lithuania twice and hope that this will occur again. The people are professional, efficient, dedicated and truly reliable. They are also very polite and civilized which adds to the smoothness of the job and of daily life. As for locations, you can find almost everything. Or you make it exist. They made a superb 150 m long Berlin wall and its checkpoint for me at a very reasonable price. After decades of dullness under Soviet rule, Lithuania is in full Renaissance. This is a place to be if you like the freshness of spring.’ 5

BARNEY REISZ

JEREMIAH CULLINANE

Producer: ‘Elizabeth I’

Director: ‘Book Smugglers’

‘Everything is possible in Lithuania! There are wonderful locations and highly capable construction crews. They built us a staggering 16th century Whitehall Palace set, interior and exterior. They made us some fantastic period costumes and the local crew and facilities are excellent. It’s a really good shooting option in Europe.’

‘I spent four weeks shooting in Lithuania, in various locations throughout the country, with a small crew, all of whom proved to be dedicated, hardworking, competent in their field, conscientious, and very supportive to me as a director. While it’s true that the Lithuanian rates were significantly lower than in Ireland, I would not hesitate to use the same crew again, regardless of rates. I also found the general public – the people of the countryside and of the cities – upon whose support we were often dependent, to be wholly receptive and helpful to our presence and willing to help out whenever they could. The entire experience was thoroughly positive, and I look forward to returning for another project in Lithuania.’

GUIDO SIMONETI Producer: ‘Circles in the Water’ ‘Palomar Spa spent over seven months last year in Vilnius preparing and shooting a four part television series for our National network Mediaset, directed by Umberto Marino. We came from Italy to Vilnius with a very small Italian crew and group of actors and were provided with local crew, actors, stunt, technical equipment and locations. The city itself is very charming and the fifteen weeks of shooting went very smoothly. The whole experience can be absolutely considered a great success due the great cooperation and professionalism of our Lithuanian collaborators, crew members and actors.’

WHY LITHUANIA?

LITHUANIA, OF COURSE!

CREW, STAFF & SPECIALISTS

Where‘s the best place to shoot? Lithuania, of course! Located in attractive north-eastern Europe, between sedate Scandinavia, effusive Central Europe and exotic Russia, Lithuania offers a fabulous blend of the best of all of its neighbours and then some. We have a wide variety of unexploited locations with a marvellous landscape full of lots of lakes and rivers and there are no nasty snakes or crocodiles or things that would want to kill you. But, most importantly of all, Lithuania provides quality services at a rock-bottom price. Lithuania, we‘re worth more than a look!

Local crew members are multi talented and highly skilled with the experience of many foreign productions under their belts. Art department and construction teams can conjure up 16th century palaces and moon landscapes, and everything in between. Low prices for a quality product are our motto.

SETS Lithuania‘s construction costs are among the lowest in Europe and our sets have received wide acclaim. A Lithuanian crew built a magnificent Titanic and experts billed it as ‘the best Titanic stages constructed since Jim Cameron’s high budget feature film.’ Lithuanians are usually pretty modest, but we do have to say that we do this kind of thing all the time. Talented, experienced and skilful painters and set constructors make authentic items, including sculptures, china, oil-paintings, etc. Lithuanians can manufacture every detail of your interior design or décor. We coordinate the work of woodworkers, painters, plasterers, sculptors, set constructors and metal workers.

Lithuania has experienced crew members who speak fluent English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Polish. Filming permission is easily obtained at very reasonable rates. Lithuania has fantastic production and location managers, cinematographers, set and costume designers, animators, key technicians, stunt performers who are proven and true professionals at what they do.

STUDIO Vilnius has a newly built professional studio – a 1059 m2 soundproof stage with an adjacent 578 m2 of modern offices, make-up rooms, showers, auxiliary and storage space. The studio also offers a 3-wall green screen room (410 m2 walls, 335 m2 floor), motion control facilities, wi-fi, easy access to the premises, convenient and spacious parking. There is a cafeteria in the studio that can provide catering for all your needs.

EQUIPMENT

COSTUMES & PROPS

Camera, video and lighting equipment suppliers meet the most demanding of requirements for productions both large and small. Lithuania has teams of true professionals with the highest levels of experience in providing services for the production of film, TV, advertising and commercials. Multiple projects can be serviced simultaneously by the best of the best in these sectors using the latest and most advanced equipment.

Lithuania has a superb collection of costumes and props to offer. With over 100,000 costumes, hairpieces and accessories available, actors can be decked out in everything from a caveman‘s outfit to a space suit to a Queen of England. Historical costumes and footwear are memorable for their authentic details.

CASTING Lithuanian casting agencies provide well-known professional and multi-lingual actors who work on sets in Lithuania and abroad as well as new faces for principal talent or extras. Lithuanian actors have worked with such renowned stars as Daniel Craig, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Helen Mirren, Woody Harrelson, Ben Kingsley, Emilie Mortimer, Thomas Kretchman, Kirsten Dunst and others.

22

Furniture and props come in all shapes, sizes and periods. Fabrics of all types are available and props are plentiful. History would not be complete without horses, carriages, coaches, saddles and harnesses, all of which Lithuania has in stock. Period weapons and firearm props are also available.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Lithuania is easily accessible by land, sea or air. It has the best transport infrastructure in the Baltics that is very well maintained. There are four main means of access to Lithuania:

PLANES There are frequent flights from Europe to three international airports that are located short distances away from the cities that they service, i.e. Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga. The airports in Vilnius and Palanga are both 7 km and 15 minutes driving time away from their city centres. The Kaunas airport is 15 km away from the centre of town. Vilnius airport (www.vilnius-airport.lt) services 85% of the country’s international passengers. Access to Vilnius is quick and inexpensive. Frequent train and shuttle buses run from the Vilnius airport to the centre of town and the main railway station. There are taxi stands at all of the airports outside of the arrivals terminals curb-side or can be ordered online ahead of time at www.etaksi.lt. Minibuses also cover various routes through the cities and outskirts.

TRAINS There are direct trains to Vilnius from the main cities of its neighbouring countries of Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Latvia. More info at www.litrail.lt.

FERRIES The port city of Klaipėda has regularly scheduled ferry service to Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland. Should you have an unlimited budget and would like to make a grand and stately entrance to Lithuania, luxury cruise liners dock at Klaipėda year round.

AUTOMOBILES

HOT AIR BALLOONS

Cars from international chains such as Hertz, Avis and Europcar can be rented at the airport in Vilnius (a segment of ‘The Amazing Race’ testified to the efficiency with which this could be done!) The A1 highway runs across Lithuania south to north and connects its three major cities with a route of Vilnius-Kaunas-Klaipėda. Driving speeds are: 50 km/hr in towns, 90 km/hr on suburban roads and 110-130 km/hr on highways. Technical road assistance: call 1888 (24/7)

In Vilnius, you can opt for a hot air balloon to get you from here to there or to get a very good overview of the city itself. It’s one of the very few places in Europe where hot air balloons are allowed to fly over an Old Town. It’s considered an aristocratic tradition and you can wear jeans if you like, but if it’s your ‘first time’, old ballooning traditions dictate that you be treated to a glass of champagne to make the bird’s eye view of the city even more attractive. And, you’ll get a flight certificate at the end to show off to cast and crew. More info: www.ballooning.lt

BUSES There is direct bus service to Vilnius from most European countries. Vilnius’ bus terminal is centrally located and a short distance away from

30

the Old Town. Routes and schedules are available at www.eurolines.lt and www.ecolines.lt. For transportation within Lithuania, buses are modern and operate frequently and regularly across the country. Fares are low. The bus and coach system is an easy and convenient way to commute within the country.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Lithuania has locations to choose from that will impress the most discerning of filmmakers. Robin Hood and his merry band had a great time galloping through Lithuania‘ s forests, the soldiers of World War II landed dramatically on our beaches, Holocaust heroes have waded through our rivers. Vast fields, gently rolling hills, wetlands, thousands of lakes and dense forests of pine, spruce, birch and oak stand ready, more than willing and able to play their role in whatever season you need to film. The topography of Lithuania features a primarily lowland terrain. Moderate highlands lie to the east and south, with several hilly regions in the west. The towering sand dunes on the shores of the Baltic Sea in north-western Lithuania are impressive not only in their stature and grandeur, but also in their dazzling ability to act as a very low-cost stand in for the Sahara. The dunes stand on a 98 km sandy peninsula between the Baltic Sea on one side and a lagoon on the other. And just for good measure, in case you should need it, there is also a hundred year old coniferous forest along the pristine white sand seashore. Of particular note is Vilnius‘ outstanding Old Town that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the largest ‘living‘ Old Towns in all of Europe. Kaunas, Lithuania‘s second largest city, also boasts a charming Old Town and a restored castle. The ice-free port of Klaipėda is hospitable to filmmakers all year round. Should you need a contemporary urban setting, Lithuania‘s large cities have many sites from which to choose. There are skyscrapers in Vilnius, modern high-rises in Kaunas and upscale architecture overlooking the sea in Klaipėda.

The Soviets left a pretty ugly mark that has been hard to erase in the residential housing complexes that still stand in blocks in some areas of the largest cities in Lithuania. Eventually, they will be all gone, so come before then if you are interested in that type of setting. Right now, the ones that are standing are still all extremely real. Lithuania has rural villages as well. Rumšiškės is an authentically constructed village that can take you back in time and has been a prime location for more than one director. If you‘re looking for even more reality, Lithuania has villages that are oldtime rural in both buildings and surrounding area. Minnesota in the United States may bill itself as unique with 10,000 lakes, but Lithuania will give you more bang for your buck with 2,833 lakes larger than 10,000 sq. m and 1,600 smaller ones in an area about one third the size of the American state. The majority of Lithuania‘s lakes are found in the eastern part of the country. Lithuania also has 758 rivers longer than ten kilometres. The highest elevation in Lithuania is 297.84 metres above sea level, found in the eastern part of the country. And last, but not least – as if all of the above were not enough – Lithuania likes to boast that it is the geographical centre of Europe. Geographic coordinates: 56°00’N 24°00’E. How could you possibly resist a pitch like that.
